Anyone registered in Orange County may request to
vote-by-mail using any of the request methods below.
An elector or an elector’s designee can request a ballot to vote-by-mail for all elections through the
end of the calendar year for the second ensuing regularly scheduled general
election (including those not yet scheduled at the time of the request).

ELECTOR’S SIGNATURE ON FILE

A vote-by-mail ballot will be considered illegal and will NOT be counted if the signature on the Voter’s Certificate
is missing or if it does not match the signature on record. The signature on
file at the start of the canvass of the vote-by-mail ballots is the signature
that will be used to verify your signature on the Voter’s Certificate. If
you need to update your signature for this election, send your signature
update on a voter registration application to our office so that it is
received before the beginning of canvassing which can occur no earlier than
7 a.m. the 15th day prior to election day.
